Truro Pair Head to Tiverton

Tiverton Town have snapped up Jamie Richards and Niall Thompson from Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South rivals Truro City.

Jamie Richards

Jamie Richards

Twenty-seven-year-old Richards is a versatile performer who had been with the White Tigers since September 2015 following his release by Torquay United.

He started his career at Southend United, where he emerged through the ranks before going on to serve the likes of Plymouth Argyle, Weymouth and Northern Irish outfit, Linfield.

He made over 250 appearances for Truro, scoring 19 goals, and was named club captain after the departure of Ben Gerring in the summer of 2018.

Thompson was another long-serving White Tiger.

The 28-year-old versatile winger or striker was a popular figure at Truro, whose former clubs include Hucknall Town, Sheffield FC, Mickleover Sports and Torquay United, from where he was loaned to Truro in 2014/15.
